Earnings week

[Gbathat]

Glad to hear it and good luck!

I am looking for potential opportunities around earnings reports, particularly for companies like Cisco due to potential buyback announcements. I will probably buy short term calls right before earnings calls. I’ll post on option millionaire’s board as I buy. Take care.

[restripe]

Yes that was a great play I averaged around that also. Thanks again for the heads up great call if you come across something else that you feel might be good please do not hesitate to let me know LOL thanks again good luck

[Gbathat]

I guess 800% in two months will have to do;). If you did better, well played.

Cheers.

On to the earnings report.

[Gbathat]

In the money! Seems like we were moving in lockstep with msft and ntap today... thank you tech bulls.

Cut 15 % of my 41c’s at .35 today, riding freebies from here...
I’ll probably take some profits in the morning, but will be watching Nasdaq futures closely and will probably hold a good chunk til Friday.

Deal or no deal? What is in the case Howie?

Good luck! I was hoping we’d be higher, but I guess that means some potential call opportunities near the 14 feb earnings report if PPS plateaus or breaks downward for a bit.

https://www.cnbc.com/2017/09/26/goldman-these-companies-are-headed-for-a-big-tax-break-on-overseas-cash.html

[Gbathat]

I am hopeful that the stock will keep going up. After hours Friday it went up to 40.94.

It seems possible that they are already buying back shares. I reviewed their last quarterly earnings slides and found a note indicating they had $10 billion still authorized for future buybacks by at end of Q1, which I believe was 30 sep. That might explain why no announcement of a larger buyback yet, or it may just be taking a while for them to determine the correct tax withholding for repatriated funds.

I would guess they did not buy back much in Q2 due to tax reform uncertainty. Hopefully what we observed Friday and in some of the previous runs up was a combo of buybacks, market interest increasing due to analysts increasing price targets to $44-46, and associated strong hands from longs.

My strategy for this week is to sell enough to cover my total investment after taxes on Tuesday morning if futures are up, which would be about 15% of my call options at the current price. After that, we’ll see... probably an incremental price step sale approach to increase chances of taking some profits. I have a day job, so I’ll need to automate this each night.

[restripe]

Wow what a move the options made on NTAP at least you got something out of it. There is always one around the corner LOL. Any thoughts on CS CO for next week thanks

[Gbathat]

Good day indeed! And on pretty average volume too... Hopefully the momo keeps going into next week.

Honestly, I thought we'd be at this level two weeks ago, but things have not quite transpired according to expectation.

I'm really kicking myself for not loading up on NTAP at the same time. 55c on NTAP were available at 5 cents in mid Nov... wish I'd bought 400 instead of 40, most of which I sold way too early. That stock has been absolutely on fire since. Hopefully Cisco follows suit next week.

Cheers.

[restripe]

Well I have to say thanks for the heads up on the other board Great call

[buby89]

Yup!!

[restripe]

Wow big move today. Moving too good to let go of any

[Gbathat]

Buying frenzy this morning got us through China treasury news... hopefully we see the same tomorrow and broader market support

Hope remains

Yeah, Cramer kind of goes with the wind... a couple more real analyst upgrades though which is great... need those institutional investors and funds to move this stock along

[restripe]

Cramer oh boy selling tomorrow lol Nice to break the 40 today even if it was for a short time . some time left might lighten up some on the next move

[Gbathat]

Cramer on board the cisco train https://www.thestreet.com/story/14444621/1/three-reasons-to-buy-cisco-stock-before-it-explodes-10-percent-higher-or-more.html

[Gbathat]

Another up day... I wonder if they are already buying back shares on leftovers from a prior authorization. That would be smart as they could get them at a lower price before announcing a subsequent buyback authorization and shooting the price up. Hopefully the latter happens before the 19th but I am losing hope... only 8 more trading days. At current rate though, we may still make some money.

My plan is to sell 20% of my calls at 40 cents (10x) and then ride the rest.

After that, and if no buyback announcement is made, calls spanning the next earnings mtg in feb might be in order, if PPS is still sub 42. That would be a logical time to discuss the buyback to counter any negative earnings impacts of the repatriation tax payment. I believe they used that forum to announce a buyback in 2016.

Good luck

[restripe]

Yes some news and more upgrades would be great 41 is right around the corner hopefully it is an up week would be great to Bank on this and move onto the next one good luck to us

[Gbathat]

Price target raised from 37 to 46... good news... hopefully other analysts update their targets too

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/05/cisco-hits-highest-level-in-almost-17-years-after-bank-of-america-upgrade.html

[Gbathat]

Nice move up... still waiting on that buyback news

Entering ex dividend period on their quarterly dividend now

Next earnings call not til mid Feb

Quite a few positive articles about transition to new markets

Some articles questioning repat tax impact on near future earnings, but my understanding is companies can pay it over next 8 years rather than all at once

Two weeks and 2 bucks to go on my 41c , fingers crossed

NTAP has been a bit volatile lately, I sold another quarter of my 55c s today after an upswing...

Hope all is well
